Nine Vicious Denies Young Thug’s Claim That He Was Re‑Signed and Paid Millions
Conflicting on‑air and social‑media statements leave Vicious’s label status unverified, threatening to complicate YSL’s roster plans.
Overview
- Young Thug said during a livestream with PlaqueBoyMax on Saturday that he had re‑signed Nine Vicious to Young Stoner Life and “gave him some millions.”
- A repost of the stream prompted Nine Vicious to publicly deny the claim with a one‑word Instagram comment, creating a direct contradiction to Thug’s on‑air statement.
- No independent documentation of a new contract or payment has been published and Young Thug had not issued a public clarification responding to Vicious’s denial as of the latest reports.
- The dispute overlays earlier reporting that Vicious was linked to YSL in early 2025, appeared to distance himself from the label in September 2025, and released the album EMOTIONS in April 2026 under Create Music Group.
- The disagreement matters for YSL’s public roster and business plans because Young Thug is promoting a new label compilation and has publicly courted other artists such as Kodak Black, so observers should watch for formal statements, contract filings, or new releases that clarify Vicious’s status.
